One thing that can help when you do have to learn from a DVD and train without other better riders is to video yourself and then compare the video to the training DVD. if it looks the same as the DVD when you watch it your doing good, if not keep trying and video yourself tell you get it right... I also have the wife watch the video and then record me and tell me what it did or didn't look like. helps a lot...

This report was good. http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/michelin-x11-tubeless-availability.1096567/#post-27928846

Everything I hear about the GP puts it on par with or better than the Michelin tires. The older Dunlops are good for the price but I would have taken a Michelin even at the price increase. But now I am thinking I will be giving a set of the Dunlop GP's a go first.

I know a lot of people that really like a 10/43 over the 9/41. Good compromise in my opinion. I had 10/43 from the previous owner and it was quite good. Not sure I would want a 9 on the front... I may be a bit eccentric but I like and ride stock gearing...

It is all about how it is riden, they don't have the same power delivery. Peak power and torque aren't in the same place. Gearing and RPM rang are different, etc. If you ride it like a 2T or expect it to be like one you will be disappointed.

I use second quite a bit in sections, just depends on the section. I have even gone into many running second the hole ride just to save from needing to shift where it would have ben an inconvenience to go up to second right before a steep hill or larger obstacle. And I ride stock gears on my 4RT for reference.

It isn't a trials application but I have an Ohlins on my dual sport and it's a good shock, I have heard good things from others having run them on trials bikes as well. In fact if I was going to update my wife's bike I would likely go with an Ohlins from Lewisport as I keep hearing they are quite good at setting them up on trials bikes. We where able to adjust hers to an ok point and she is happy with it so didn't go that route, but almost... Not sure where you are in the world, but if you have access to someone who dose the Ohlins for trials or are able to order one setup to your specifications that would be my call. Best of luck.

I tend to agree with michael_t on the vertigoand check boxes, green being the question, thought my personal choice if I didn't already have an older 4RT would be the Montesa 300RR. If I wasn't a Montesa fan boy I would snap up a Vertigo...

I admit I don't believe they are needed but would still like to try one. (Unless someone has a good comparison review?) I might give one a try at some point just to see, but also admit if I do I will get the handlebar baring as well so I can get a good review of both.

Hade a set of soft on my bike when I got it and changed to the medium and like them better, my wife has a generic brand X and are softer, she likes that better, my daughters bike has a set of what seems to be medium Hebo grips and I like them better than my wife's but still prefer the Renthals more. Was planning on trying the S3's next go. As for time I think I got a year out of my first set but really should have changed them at 6 months, I am guessing I will get 9 to 12 on the current set as I will change them sooner than my last set, and am guessing my wife's will last a year as sh isn't a hard rider and my kids maybe 2 years for the same reason.

aussiechris has it correct. Its all about what position you like the switch in and keeping the wires connected or not depending on the open/close state of the switch when in the position you like riding.

I seem to remember something a lot like this before...

If you have a club I would suggest asking some of the members if you could ride a beta and Gas Gas 250. I bet a few of them would be willing to let you have a go, and that's the best way to tell what you would like. If you want mellow I har the Beta is often the better call, if snappy the Gas Gas but I bet you would be supper happy on ether.

Link out bank sensor thread... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/50849-link-out-bank-sensor/

Did you try resetting the ECU?

Based on this I think if I was going to do a Repsol look on a 300RR I would go with the orange on the wheels. However in my opinion the 300RR looks so good already that I think I would just keep it stock.

A bit of a squat instead of a crouch always helps me. With what you are saying here I think riding with some othe experience riders and getting active feed back and more practice is what would help more.

I have a pair of the Alpinestars and love them. Not waterproof so I have a pair of liners I use in damp riding. Flex is good, I have somewhat wide feet and they work fine for me, overall protection is good for what they are (not MX boots), and other than having to glue a small corner of the sole, from where I snagged it during an off, they are holding up well. Based on what all of my riding buddies say I think my next pair will be Gaerne, and on that note my wife loves her Gaernes so hope when this pair is done I like them as much or more than the Alpinestars. I have herd a good shoe repair place can glue new ones on but not sure on that.

I have been running Engine Ice in my 4RT and it seems to be working great for me.

No experience with the brand or if they ship to land down under, however there is one you can get from H & D Racing, and I have heard good things about them. http://www.handdracing.co.uk/userimages/procart2.htm about half way down the page titled "4RT Alloy Racing Oversized radiator" Good luck!

+1 on the ELF oil, I just love my clutch with that oil. I just found out that you can get it in the US again too. Though its the same price as before but only 1/2 the amount.

Considering the number of internal engine and other modifications (new parts supply etc.) I could see it being quite a bit to get everything running at full swing. But that is just me.

Don't want to send everyone to some other venue for information but there was a great thread on this in ADVrider... http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/led-lighting-solutions-for-night-riding-or-whatever.1036033/ I have been playing in the yard later and later and for basic practice and such this type of lighting is working fine for me. looking to expand my collection a bit maybe to do some later evening riding...

Never been in that so will trust that to be the case.

Krlewis34 has a great starting list and as for brake pedal not just moves freely but also having it out of adjustment. If there isn't at least a little play before the peddle starts to press the brake piston you will have this issue so you can try loosening the peddle a bit extra and see if that fix's it, if so they re-adjust to your preference.
